iWatch Shows Inaccurate Laps and Distance in 10 Yard Long Backyard Pool
I don’t know if my new iWatch suffers from the same issue as the Samsung watches that I’ve used previously. But the iWatch too seems to be unable to track laps and distance in my relatively short backyard pool. Even though the parameters do allow setting the pool length to the correct 10 yards, the watch displays only 4 laps after I have completed 100 laps and the distance shows a ridiculous 44 yards when obviously the distance it should have tracked and displayed is 1,000 yards.
Is this a known issue for such short pools? Is there any good reason that it couldn’t be at least somewhat accurate? Is there something of which I need to be aware to make the watch render a reasonable estimate?
Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks. Dave
